Prototype information
Dining Car Classics in German Federal Railroad Long Distance Service - Mitropa was once responsible for the catering in trains and had comfortable dining cars built for the DRG"s streamlined express train passenger cars ("Schürzenwagen"). These cars were placed into service starting in 1939 and had a dining area divided into a smoking and non-smoking compartment. The trucks on the cars were originally "Görlitz type III design" heavy trucks, which provided a high level of riding comfort. These cars had a galley with a coal-fired cook stove when first placed into service. After World War II the stove was converted to oil firing. Later electric heating was installed and the trucks were replaced by Minden-Deutz designs. These cars were adapted several times to changing requirements and were in service well into the German Federal Railroad period.
